I hope Rose the designer of "Threadbare Creations" approves of what I have done with two of her patterns "Family Values & Tender Moments" I need to make what was the Family Values quilt quite a lot bigger king size en fact so am using the Tender Moments blocks to achieve this, I like my quilts big so that they hang over the sides almost to the floor, Family Values sits really well on top of a queen sized bed so the rest I am doing are really for the overhang so I'll put them on the quilt on their sides so it looks right and you can see the pics and words.

Looks like I spoke too soon when I told Laurie my cyclamen were doing really well after being in flower for around six months the last one is looking a bit sick today it's gone all droopy so I hope this is not the beginning of the end for it.

As most of you know I'm doing Family Values by Threadbare Creations I just love Roses patterns well I finished Family values however in the mean time we bought the new Number control bed so now I need kingsize quilt so after lots of thinking about how I could add borders ect to make it bigger I came up with the idea of doing more blocks but then it was what kind of blocks from where?? I ended up putting it aside and was going to start a lovely stitchery I received from Christine which I have been itching to start then what do I see in with my patterns " Tender Moments" by Threadbare Creations so I got to thinking I wonder if I can put the two together so with a few changes (hope thats OK Rose) this is what I came up with. I had to change the border and the colour, what do you girls think will it work???

Hi Girls, I'm trying to do a quilt from an old copy of "Pathway to Paradise "by Jacky Hens, my problem is that I don't have the instruction page, I made the blocks before I noticed it was missing, I also don't have a colour copy of the finished quilt to copy from, it was published in Australian Country Craft a few years ago.Any help would be great.

Hi Girls, Jenny from elefantaz is doing another give away, also you must look in her etzy shop she has more lovely patterns in there as well, I really love her free BOM "Shabby Roses" it's just lovely yet soo not me but how I'd like to be all prettiness around me not my usual Plain Jane type of person look out girls I may just change do you think that's possible? I'll still be my silly good fun self though making faces trying on aprons at gatherings :-)
